Volunteer Opportunities & Committees
LLI encourages the active participation of its members. The following is an outline of the various LLI committees – we warmly welcome you to join us!
- Classroom Assistants The primary function of the Classroom Assistants committee is to provide support to presenters. This includes making announcements, assisting with copying materials keeping attendance, and addressing classroom needs such as handouts and equipment and administering course evaluations.
- Classroom Management - The Classroom Management Committee procures space both at SUNY New Paltz and other local sites, assigns classrooms and ensures/provides needed equipment. It works with the registrar to check enrollments and make adjustments if needed. Prior to first day of classes it delivers needed equipment and then after classes has ended ensures pickup and storage of equipment.
- Catalog - The Catalog Committee composes all course descriptions, days and time slots for the catalog including all materials and supplies needed as well as bios of presenters. The committee also proofreads and corrects the final catalog before printing.

The Committee recruits presenters and helps them define their courses. It works in conjunction with the Catalog Committee during its preparation phase.
- Events – The Events Committee plans, arranges, and coordinates special events, promotes the social interaction of members and assists with refreshments at events.
